@negative12dollarbill @alice @Colman @blainsmith @rbphotographic it’s better to compliment them on their work. Women are so use to being objectified and only there to be looked at that they sometimes want to not be looked at and judged on their appearance. I’m not speaking for all women but for me at least, I don’t think of how I look at work at all. It can be jarring to be reminded of it when I’m at work, I think of myself as a sort of formless blob talking about operating systems. You might think it’s a compliment but it might be difficult for the women to have to stop their work and think about how to respond. I might recommend you read this blog post that I wrote for more insights. https://irenezhang.com/blog/2024/07/24/misogyny.html

Tomorrow morning, Australia will play a vital role in supporting #ArtemisII through the @canberradsn - the CDSCC (and as part of Australia's national science agency, CSIRO)

I spoke with folks at CDSCC, along with Associated Prof. Alice Gorman (Dr Space Junk), folks at NASA and more about this historical mission.

The CDSCC is not the only Aussie team that is working with the Artemis II mission - researchers from the Australian National University are also testing emerging technology that allows data to be transmitted via lasers, instead of radio waves at Mount Stromlo.

Importantly, Artemis II is going to set some new records that have not been attempted for 54 years.

And for the first time, the first woman, the first person of colour and the first non-American will travel to lunar space.

Godspeed, humans! Ad Astra!

Square. Circle. Triangle. (Lin Yung Cheng)

Taiwanese photographer Yung Cheng Lin aka 3cm investigates the concept of femininity in a critical and provocative way.

"The freedom to enjoy your body and feel good for what you are or have is still a mirage that somehow steals the female identity to instead offer a false promise of respect and love. In this series of images, the body draws incomplete or imperfect geometries as if it were forcing itself to respect rules that do not characterize it."
